If the bank account involved is a joint account, each owner on the account must sign the Form 8546 as a claimant for erroneous levy. DDIA processing error claims on joint returns also require signature of both spouses. However, an authorized agent or legal representative can file and sign the claim if the claimant can't because of disability, death, or other acceptable reason.

If IRS approves your claim, the money can be sent to your bank by electronic funds transfer (EFT), or we can send you a check. Payment by EFT will be faster, safer, and more convenient for you. If you want us to pay your claim by EFT, we need the bank information in items 6 through 10. The American Bankers Association (ABA) number (item 7) is the first nine digits in the number at the bottom of your checks. If you have no checking account, ask your bank what its ABA number is. If you do not complete items 6 through 10, a check will be sent to you. Please attach verification of the amount you are claiming. Include any documentation you may have explaining or acknowledging the IRS error. Also, include: 1. a copy of the levy (if the charges were caused by an erroneous levy), Internal Revenue Policy P-5-39 Reimbursement of Bank Charges Due to Erroneous Levy and Service Loss or Misplacement of Taxpayer Checks, or Direct Debit Installment Agreement Processing Errors. The Service recognizes that there are circumstances when an erroneous use of its unique enforcement powers may cause taxpayers to incur certain bank charges. Taxpayers who incur bank charges due to an erroneous levy or a Direct Debit Installment Agreement (DDIA) processing error on the part of the Service may file a claim for reimbursement of those expenses. Bank charges include a financial institution's customary charge for complying with the levy instructions as well as charges for overdrafts that are a direct consequence of an erroneous levy or DDIA processing error on the part of the Service. In addition, there are times when a taxpayer's check may be lost or misplaced in processing. When the Service asks for a replacement check, the taxpayer maybe reimbursed for bank charges incurred in stopping payment on the original check. The charges must have been paid by the taxpayer and must not have been waived or reimbursed by the financial institution. Claims must be filed with the District Director or Service Center Director within one year after accrual of the expense. The following criteria must be present in all erroneous levy cases: (3) Prior to the levy, the taxpayer did not refuse (either orally or in writing) to timely respond to Service inquiries or provide information relevant to the liability for which the levy was made. The following criteria must be present in all lost check cases: (1) The Service acknowledges it lost or misplaced the check during processing; (2) the Service asks the taxpayer for a replacement of the payment; and (3) the Service is satisfied that the replacement payment has been received. The following criteria must be present in all DDIA processing error cases. (1) The Service failed to act timely, took an incorrect or improper action, or a systemic failure caused the bank fees; (2) The taxpayer must not have contributed to the continuation or compounding of the error that caused the bank fees; and (3) Prior to the processing error, the taxpayer did not refuse (either orally or in writing) to timely respond to the Service’s inquiries or provide sufficient information for the DDIA processing change to be made. (1) The Service acknowledges the levy was erroneous; (2) The taxpayers must not have contributed to the continuation or compounding of the error; and In compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the following is provided. Solicitation of the information is authorized by Title 31 USC 3723; 31 CFR 3.20 et seq. Disclosure of the information is voluntary. The principal purpose of this information will be for our internal use in processing your claim under 31 USC 3723, or for any court proceedings which may ensue from the filing of this claim. Catalog Number 63488O We may disclose the information on this form relevant to the processing of your claim or to any court proceedings resulting from your claim.

Form 8546 is a Federal Other form. Payment vouchers are provided to accompany checks mailed to pay off tax liabilities, and are used by the revenue department to record the purpose of the check and the SSN/EIN of the taxpayer who sent it. Many states recommend that taxpayers also write their social security number and the purpose of the payment on the check itself, in case the accompanying payment voucher is misplaced or destroyed.
